Is there an age limit for buying social security?

Legal analysis: there is an age limit for purchasing social security. Lower limit: As a child worker under the age of 16, he can't participate in social security naturally, and as a minor worker (above the age of 16, below the age of 18, his post should meet the relevant provisions of the Special Protection Regulations for Juvenile Workers), he can participate in insurance. Maximum limit: those who exceed the statutory retirement age (60 for men, 55 for women cadres and 50 for women workers) cannot participate in employee social security.

Legal basis: Article 64 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law includes basic endowment insurance fund, basic medical insurance fund, industrial injury insurance fund, unemployment insurance fund and maternity insurance fund. In addition to the basic medical insurance fund and maternity insurance fund combined accounting, other social insurance funds are accounted for separately according to social insurance types. Social insurance funds implement a unified accounting system throughout the country. The social insurance fund is earmarked for special purposes, and no organization or individual may occupy or misappropriate it. The basic old-age insurance fund will gradually implement national overall planning, and other social insurance funds will gradually implement provincial overall planning. The specific time and steps shall be stipulated by the State Council.
